A novel about racism

Revisado: 05-21-24

Excellent novel about racism presented as a murder story. The American's DNA is eternally damaged by racism. The Empire of Lies must be destroyed and its inhabitants be purified by fire. Hopefully those who survive will be purged of the racism. Highly recommended novel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of Koontze's best short stories and top performance from Elisabeth Rodgers. Five stars on all accounts

A Democrat's wet dream

Revisado: 06-13-23

A liberal Democrat full of good intentions and false pride decide to kill Lee H Oswald on the turn of a dime. First half is good 4-5 stars then it's like to eat sweetened sugar, just too much.

A terminally sick story

Revisado: 05-24-23

Only in America can such a story be concocted. The American civilisation is based on violence and it's unique in this way, no other current major civilization repeatedly creates such violent cities, subways, mass shootings, or such violent stories in books, media and movies. "Christine" is another example of a civilization gone mad. The utterly foul and coarse language used by and between people in the story is appalling and depressing. Performance is stunning but wasted on a totally unbelievable story, only a terminally sick culture could produce such a story and love it.

My two cents

Revisado: 05-18-23

Very good narration, first half of the story four star, going down until the last chapter which is only one star, author's snarky liberal comments totally infantil.

A one star performance ⭐

Revisado: 02-04-23

Sometimes the performer whispers so low I cannot hear her. Her rendering of Libby is worse than one star. The brave, mature, 14 year old Libby sound like an immature 7 year old full of fear lacking any strength.

Uninteresting man

Revisado: 10-29-22

The objective of war is to force the enemy do your will, take away his power and destroy his army. This basic military-political axiom is not clearly presented to the reader. I get the impression that tiny specs on the map were important like Shiloh etc. Those places are just labels in the struggle.

Bad voice for this book

Revisado: 10-19-22

The reader, Michael Beck can only personify people older than 60 years. The floor manager Hobersdorfer sounds like 90 . Hugh sounds like 60 while he's 15-38 in the book.

Outstanding performance

Revisado: 09-15-22

Peter Kenny is the best narrator I ever heard. He can sound like a little child or like a gigantic troll and he always keep it tight, he never goes overboard with any character. The story is mediocre technocratic lifeless masterbation. Without Mr Kenny I could never have finished the book, even skipped the final act as I was so totally uninterested in what would happen to the characters and the fate of their projects.

Higly recommended for listening

Revisado: 08-09-22

Absolutely fantastic in the literal sense. Better for listening due to the one man role cast Peter Berkrot. He is many in one!
